      Running the following Jenkins declarative pipeline job I would expect the output to be the same for each regular expression:

      Here is the content of the pipeline:

      pipeline{
      agent{ node{ label('master')}}
      stages{
      stage('RegEx'){
      steps{
      script{
      def m_ex
      def m_in
      stanza = '''Hello.
      how are you doing?
      It is a nice day.
      Are we there yet?'''
      m_ex = stanza =~ /(m?).nice./
      if (m_ex){
      println "Found: ${m_ex[0][0]}"
      }else

      { println "m_ex did not return a match. Why?" }

      if ((m_in = stanza =~ /(m?).nice./)){
      println "Found: ${m_in[0][0]}"
      }else

      { println "m_in did not return a match. Why?" }

      println GroovySystem.version
      }
      }
      }
      }
      } 

      Here is the result:

      Running in Durability level: MAX_SURVIVABILITY
      [Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
      [Pipeline] node
      Running on Jenkins in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Test/RegularExpression
      [Pipeline] {
      [Pipeline] stage
      [Pipeline] { (RegEx)
      [Pipeline] script
      [Pipeline]

      { [Pipeline] echo Found: It is a nice day. [Pipeline] echo m_in did not return a match. Why? [Pipeline] echo 2.4.12 [Pipeline] }

      [Pipeline] // script
      [Pipeline] }
      [Pipeline] // stage
      [Pipeline] }
      [Pipeline] // node
      [Pipeline] End of Pipeline
      Finished: SUCCESS
